Welcome

This is a celebration about books, but more so for the bloggers that help tell the world about them. This event is to celebrate book bloggers round the world by shining a light on their efforts, spreading the word about their sites for future follows on your reading rounds, and having a little contest fun along the way.

I’m an award-winning journalist, editor, novelist, and occasional standup comic based in Eugene, Oregon. I write the highly praised Detective Wade Jackson series. Two are in print: The Sex Club and Secrets to Die For. My third Jackson story, Thrilled to Death, is coming out this August. Passions of the Dead and The Baby Thief, will be released in next year. When not plotting murders, I enjoy cycling, gardening, reading crime stories, social networking, attending writers/readers conferences, hanging out with my family, and editing fiction manuscripts.

This author has generously donated a copy of her book, The Sex Club, to our Kick-Off Contest! To find out more about the author or the Detective Wade Jackson series, visit her site, Facebook page, or follow along on Twitter!

"I read eclectically - both fiction and non-fiction - but I especially love contemporary fiction, literary fiction, chick lit and memoirs. I have a young niece and nephew and like to find and comment on great children's books for them! My book blog is primarily a place for me to record my thoughts on what I read and a chance to interact with fellow readers!

I am an avid reader, specializing in fantasy, thriller/suspense, history, paranormal, young adult, and children's books, but will read whatever I feel like reading. Although I enjoy promoting books I read to those I teach, [thus] I felt I needed another outlet to discuss and share something I am so passionate about.

Dollycas's Thoughts was start 12-31-2009 as a place to give my thoughts, mostly about the books I read. I read all genres with the exception of sci-fi, paranormal and most fantasy. Cozy and Thriller mysteries are my faves, but [I] also love chick-lit, contemporary fiction, and throw in a little Christian fiction and non-fiction from time to time. I also love giveaways!!
